2 Mentor goals: Ò To declare what is possible and establish a commitment to that possibility Ò Address personal and professional barriers limiting the ability to serve Ò Evolution of vision/mission/ethics that drive success Ò Create immediate action steps to apply learning and growth Ò Construct the round table of applied trophologists

3 Mentoring the mentor: Ò Who are the mentors? – Practitioners Ò Who are we mentoring? – Patients and GAP Ò What’s the purpose? – Optimized life Ò How does it work? – Whatever you learn you teach someone else (anyone else) Ò Who’s is included? – Self selection, you pick yourself

5
4 Mentoring the mentor: Ò Each participant attends monthly teleconferences (1 hour in duration, 4 th Thursday of month) creating a round table discussion/exploration of the dynamics and details of a nutrition-based wholistic practice Ò Each participant chooses a colleague in his/her world to convey the notes and information – no information squandering Ò Issues/problems/questions are considered a learning process for everyone, although individual’s remain anonymous Ò All questions, comments, case studies to be directed through email to SP rep who will compile and include in next teleconference ( must be submitted 10 days prior)

Approach to wisdom Throughout history the really fundamental changes in societies have come about not from the dictates of governments and the results of battles, but through vast numbers of people changing their minds, sometimes only a little bit. Willis Harman

6 Managing Lipoprotein Dyslipidemia  For decades the primary blood marker associated with cardiovascular disease has been cholesterol – total cholesterol at first then LDL and HDL, deemed ‘bad and good’ cholesterol  Additional risk factors have emerged including c- reactive protein as an indication of inflammation and homocysteine as measuring the attachment potential to the wall of the artery  Although lifetime coronary heart disease mortality can be correlated to cholesterol, it does not predict CHD events in individuals as well as could be hoped

7 The Lipid Players  LDL – total amount of cholesterol found in low-density lipoprotein particles – currently specialists seek to limit under 70 with high risk individuals – large clinical trials have confirmed that LDL reduction decreases the risk for future events  HDL – total cholesterol found in high density lipoprotein particles – these particles ar thought to assist in transporting cholesterol from the tissue to the liver for removal – In general a 1 mg/dl increase in HDL results in a 2-4% decrease in risk (most seen in women)  Non-HDL cholesterol – total amount minus HDL – easily derived form simple lab test make this useful in cost prohibitive cases – high risk <130 mg/dl, moderate risk <160, low risk <190

8 The Lipid Players  Triglycerides – a form of fat in the blood is elevated in insulin resistant dyslipidemia – fasting TG above 150 is a criteria of metabolic syndrome, below 150 is normal, 150-199 borderline high, 200-499 high, over 500 very high  Apolipoprotein B – a protein found in the outer shell od all lipoproteins – each VLDL, IDL and LDL particle contain I molecule of apo B so it is an estimate of the atherogenic character of the lipid particles – guidelines say high risk <90, moderate risk <110, low risk <130  Apolipoprotein A – found within HDL only – A ratio > 1 of Apo B to Apo A is considered atherogenic  VLDL – becoming a key constituent of atherogenic profile related to insulin resistance and diabetes  Lipoprotein a – essentially same structure as LDL except it has apo (a) covalently attached to the surface of LDL particles which make it promote coagulation and increase oxidative inflammatory activity – Niacin is only reliable way to lower Lp(a)

9 Anatomy of Lipoproteins -  Cholesterol and triglycerides are transported through the blood in particles called lipoproteins, that are classified by their relative densities  Lipoproteins have a shell derived from phosolipids, free cholesterol and apolipoproteins – and a central core of triglycerides and cholesterol esthers  The number and size of the various particles and corresponding lipoprotein levels and the more accurate markers of atherogenic potential

35 Functional Medicine Functional medicine could be characterized, therefore, as upstream medicine or back-to- basics – back to the patient’s life story, back to the processes wherein disease originates, and definitely back to the desire of healthcare practitioners to make people well, not just manage symptoms. Edward Leyton, MD, 2005

36 A Clinical study – Hard made easy! Ò William (60 years old, carpet cleaning business) flew down from Ohio presenting cardiomyopathy for past 5 years – done everything (chelation, Cleveland Clinic), feeling terrible, loss libido, brain fog, general asthenia, sleep disorder, toenail fungus, etc. Ò Began Thymex (10), Symplex M (6), BCSO (2), Hypothalmex (2), Albaplex (6), Cataplex AC(10), SSO (6), Cardioplus (6), OPC (1), Glutamine (1.5 g), Tribulus (2), CoQ10 (300 mg), Astragulus (2), Echinacea (2) Ò Last seen 6/22/05 – after 2 months – ecstatic, feels better than in five years, sleep improved, libido improved, strong & energetic, elimination of stimulants, brain fog almost gone Ò Beyond my expectations, almost absurd to be able to achieve these results after all this man has been through for the past 5 years – message is that it is simple, not complicated and difficult and expensive, when the time has come for healing and being finished with the learning/suffering experience Ò What’s next – he’s enrolled – he loves renewal – we love just being next to him

Visit after visit – Start today  See each patient for the lipid status they present  Teach every patient the principles of starch restriction and insulin reduction and prepare them with concepts to maximize their lifespan and wellspan  Employ the principles of the seven pillars as a way of seeing the human in the process of manifestation - Application of pillars is sequential and at the discretion of the doctor – always start with caring for the chief complaint, the pillars that relate to that issue, and the deemed physiological priority  Be a practitioner who is always developing the patient beyond their request  Change outcomes, stop disease progression, reveal the inherent healing potential by using principles and products that express The Law (the way it was made to work)  Use Gastrofiber (3/day) and Cholaplex(4/day) and Niacinamide (2/day) and Tuna Omega (4) and Gingko (2) to reduce lipids and optimize
